“We're on the same radius from the Earth, and then we start to swing ar...” — Linda M. Godwin Quote

We're on the same radius from the Earth, and then we start to swing around to where we're ahead of them on the velocity vector, so we come in relative to the station from this forward velocity position and dock on to the forward end of the Lab.

We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that.

It's really kind of a challenge to keep coordinated with the two station crews that we'll be interacting with. And of course one of them launched quite some time before our mission.

We're taking up some science experiments, some crystal growth things, we have a refrigerator that carries up some samples, new samples that go into the station, we bring the old ones home; we have a lot of clothing, we have a lot of food-U.S. and Russian food.

I have trouble with seafood because it tastes like a dock.

No, I don't think I care that much,' he says. 'I think that ship left the dock the first photoshoot I ever did. I was like: oh, OK, that's what I look like? It's over.

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

When I look at my daily schedule, I feel like a trout flopping about on a dock, drowning in the air. Some people are ruthless with their schedules. Not me. I wing it.
